It measures 0.273 inches in outside diameter and 0.669 inches in free length, with a solid height of 0.211 inches. The spring carries a maximum work load of 12.45 pounds and a spring rate of 4.96 inch-pounds per inch. Closed ends provide stable seating and consistent load transfer. This spring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where tight tolerances and corrosion resistance are required. It meets DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 standards, making it appropriate for applications with defined quality requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring is used in a wide range of light mechanical, industrial, and instrumentation applications. Its small diameter and short free length make it well suited for compact assemblies such as valves, switches, fasteners, latches, and precision mechanical devices. The stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it a practical choice in environments where carbon steel would degrade. Technicians and assemblers working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical controls, and general industrial equipment commonly incorporate springs of this type during component service or new assembly builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction for corrosion and oxidation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed end type for stable seating and repeatable load application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum work load of 12.45 pounds with a spring rate of 4.96 inch-pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets DIN 17223, DIN 17224, and DIN 2095 quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain finish silver color with tight dimensional tolerances across the production run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 31161904 for streamlined procurement classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision OEM-style compression spring for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.273-inch outside diameter and 0.669-inch free length with closed ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers or service technicians during component replacement or new builds. De-energize and isolate any assembly before removing or installing springs to prevent unexpected release of stored mechanical energy. Use appropriate hand tools and eye protection when compressing or releasing the spring. Verify that the spring is fully seated against both mating surfaces before closing the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.273 inches (6.93 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.669 inches (17.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.211 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.96 inch-pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0248 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: DIN 17223, DIN 17224, DIN 2095\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MC050-0170-M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52039362412850,"sku":"MC050-0170-M","price":19.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cc0c95a3a0133049a0dc7908adbae5a8_045d2c2a-0b6a-422e-95ab-3abff89131cc.jpg?v=1790026140","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-mc050-0170-m-compression-spring-0-273in-od","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
